BRACKET FOR MIRRORS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 7', 1908.

Application led March 28, 1908. Serial No. 423,835.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD C. ONEILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Montclair, inthe county of Essex and State ol' New D Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Mirrors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a l'ull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures ol reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to an improved bracket for a mirror for shaving or for other like uses,which bracket can be swung for better light and similar conditions, and which is also adjustable in length and also in height.

A lurther object of the invention is to provide a bracket of this kind with a clip mounted to rotate on the end ol the bracket and adapted to hold and secure any form of mirror, wherebyT no special mirror [for the bracket need be employed.

The invention is'illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in whiclr Figure 1 is a side view of the complete bracket. Fig. 2 is a section on line 2, 2, in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on line 3, in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a section on line 4, in Fig. l.

I use a pair of bearing-plates 10 suitably secured to a support 11, and these bearingplates act to rotatably support the reduced ends of a post 12 whereby the post rotates to swing the bracket. To prevent rotation and lock the bracket in position, I lengthen the end 13 of the post vl2 and provide it with a screw-thread on which tits the nut 14 which can be turned to bind on the bearing-plate adjacent to it hard enough to lock the post. A strip of metal is bent to form parallel strips 15, which act as an arm of the bracket, and is attached to the sleeve 16, which sleeve is adapted to slide on the rotatable post 12 and can be locked in place by the nut 17 binding on the post 1S. Another strip olmetal is bent to form a loop 1S) and the parallel strands 20, which strands form the second member of the arm of the bracket and lit and are adapted to telescope into the arm 15. The strips making up the arm l5 can be bound to lock the strands of the second member against sliding by means of the screw 2l fitting in a flange 22 on each strip 15, thus also securing the ends of the strips. In the loop 19 is arranged a post or rivet 23 which has, secured thereto, the opposed spring arms 24 tending to spring apart. The arms 24 have the curved lips 25 which are so formed in order to permit thc locking ol a mirror in a tilted position, since the curved inner surface will allow the tilted adjustments. mirror 26, shown in the illustration, can be of any lorm, and. a mirror need not be supplied that is made particularly l'or the bracket. 27 on a screw 28, as will be seen l'rom Fig. 3.

The bracket is cheaply constructed and is ornamental, and combines a rotatable or swinging movement with a horizontal and vertical adjustment, and in addition a rotation of the mirror on the bracket.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A bracket comprising bearing-plates, a vertical post rotatably arranged in the bearing-plates, the post projecting through one ot the bearing-plates, a nut arranged to screw on the projecting end ol the post to lock the same against rotation, an arm formed ol.E two members, one member having a sleeve thereon arranged to embrace the post and having means 'for locking it inplace, the sleeve being adapted to be unlocked to rotate on the post and also to slide thereon, a second meniber of the arm adapted to telescope into the 'first member, means for locking the two members in their adjusted positions, a clip on the end of the bracket and arranged to rotate thereon, the clip comprising spring arms and means for locking the spring arms together.

. 2. A bracket comprising bearing plates, a vertical post rotatably arranged in the bearing plates, means `lor locking the post 'in the bearing plates against rotation, an arm formed of two members, one member comprising a strip bent into a sleeve to embrace the post and then extending in parallel strips, means l'or locking the sleeve against rotation and longitudinal motion on the post, the second member 'l'ormed ot a strip bent into a loop on one end and then into 'parallel strips to telescope between the parallel strips of the itirst member, means for locking the two members in their adjusted positions, and a clip on the end ot the second member ar ranged to hold a mirror.

3. A bracket comv )rising bearing plates, a vertical post rotatab y arranged in the bearing plates, means for locking the post in the The The clip is clamped shut by a nut bearing plates against rotation, an arm formed of tWo members. one member comprising a strip bent into a sleeve to embrace the post and then extending in parallel strips, means for locking the sleeve against rotation and longitudinal motion on the post, the second member formed of a strip bent into a loop on one end and then into arallel strips to telescope between the paralle strips l of the first member, means for locking the two members in their adjusted positions, a

clip rotatably arranged in the loop on the end of the second member, spring arms on the clip having their opposed faces concave, and means for locking the s ring arms together. l5 In testimony, that I c aim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of March 1908.
